Making the Cut: “New” Summer Shorts
About four years ago I bought an amazing pair of jean capris by 7 for All Mankind that I used to get complements on all of the time. I tried them on again last week and…well, not so fabulous.
While the fit was still great, the style was just all wrong. I used to love the length, but now the capri cut just looks a little too ‘mommy’ and doesn’t do a thing to flatter my frame. Realizing that I’d never wear those jeans as they were, I attacked those poor jeans today in a diy (do-it-yourself) that resulted in a great “new” pair of chic summer shorts.
Not your typical cut-offs, these are more refined and will definitely be put to good use this summer. I’m planning on wearing mine with heels and dressier tanks, blouses, and longer blazers for a look that is casual yet sophisticated. See below for a step-by-step and go ahead, do it yourself too!
